Then I would boot Knoppix again and compare the dmesg output for the card with the one you get for Debian. Also check what you get for "modinfo e100" in both cases; Knoppix might simply have a newer version of the module. It might also be helpful to know if Knoppix loads the module with any parameters/options; check if the directory /sys/module/e100/parameters/ exists after you boot Knoppix. If it does exist then you should post the output of grep -r '.*' /sys/module/e100/parameters/ -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
